The Asbury Park excursiou will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long Branch and all the famous watering places along th-3 New Jersey coast are located on the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirab opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thing for a sight-seeing jaunt thro' the far Wast, as tickets will be honored going one way and returning a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Variable route privileges will also b^ aecor:led Boston excur sionists, enabling them to visit Niagara Falls, Montreal, Thousand Tslanrls aud St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to return by steamer on Long Island Sound, after sight-seeing at Newport. Narragansett Pier. Nantucket and the Cape Cod resorts to New York and thence through the agricultural paradise of the Keystone State, along the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers, over the Alleghenies, around famous Horse Shoe Curve, through historic Johmtovva and the f-oke and iron regions of Western Pennsylvania. Ibis also expected that Biston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Lines will be privileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if they so desire.

In addition to the above, there will be plenty of other cheap excursions over the Pennsylvania Lines to various points. As the season is some weeks away, arrangements in detail have not been consummated, but it is certain that no railway will offer better inducements than the liberal concessions in rates and privileges that may be enjoyed by travelers over the Pennsylvania Lines. This fact may readily be ascertained upon application to any passenger or ticket agent of these lines, or by addressing F. VANT DUSEN, Chief Assistant Gee. Pass. Agt., Pittsburg, Pa. apr6wd-t-s-tf

Statement Made by Inhuman Monster.

MINNIE WILLIAMS' MURDERER.

The Hones Fonnd in the Holmes Castle Were Not Human Hones, So Says the Accused—The Hanger He Feared—Minnie

Williams' Keal Estate in Texas—Startling Statement. NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—A signed state

ment written by H. H. Holmes in the Mayamensing prison at Philadelphia and certified to by his lawyer, which goes into all the details of his acquaintance with Minnie R. Williams, is printed by a local paper. Holmes writes that he first met Minnie Williams at an intelligence office kept by one Campbell, on Dearborn street, Chicago, in January, 1893, and employed her as a stenographer. She was installed in his office in the building which has become known as "Holmes' Castle," and from March to May of that year occupied rooms in the building adjoining the office.

Occasionally meals were served in the building, and if any bones have been found there, Holmes writes, it will be found by microscopical examination that they are the remains of such meals. He continues: "Certain it is t^at

110

man being was ever cremated there during my occupancy of the room, my own experience years ago being quite sufficient to show me the danger of such proceedings on account of the awful odor, if I had no other motive to deter mejirom f.ucli a course."

Holmes says that in April Minnie Williams, knowing him to be in need of money, gave him a draft for $2,500, the proceeds of tlie sale/of real estate she had held in Texas, and asked hina to use it until she should need it. In order that she should be protected he transferred to her by warranty deed a house and lot at Willmette, Ills., valued at $7,500. The money was returned to her in May, 1893, being paid by Isaac R. Hitt & Company of Chicago. She desired to convert her other southern property into cash or improved northern property, and he advised her to execute a worthless deed (by having some one othor than herself to sign the same) to a fictitious person and offer the property for sale at a very low figure and years later to demand an additional sum 111 exchange for a gopd ueed. This was done, Clarence A. Phillips forging the name of Alexander E. Bond upon the deed so made, which deeds are still in existence.

About this time, Holmes narrates, Miss Williams was taken ill, suffering from acute mania, and was removed to the Presbyterian hospital, near the Clybourne avenue car limits, being enrolled as Mrs. Williams, as her ailment was such that it was prudent for her to pass as a married woman.

When she grew better and returned to his house her sister, Nannie Williams, came from Texas to visit her. Returning one eveifing early in June from a day in the city he was greeted by a cry from Minnie Williams in the parlor: "Is that you? My God, I thought you would never come. Nannie is dead." She was seated upon the floor holding her sister's head in her arms, rocking back and forth, and moaning much as a mother would over a child. He found that Nannie Williams had been dead for hours, and laid her body upon the bed in his own room, finding 110 mark of violence, but a slight discoloration on one of her temples. ^According to the story written by Holmes, Minnie Williams had been away the preceding night, and he, Holmes, had been unexpectedly detained by business all night. When Minnie Williams returned that morning she noticed that his bed had not been occupied during the night. This is what Holmes writes: "And with cftly .this one thought in her disordered mind liad rushed into the adjoining room, where her sister then sat, and in a voice which only the very few who have been intimately acquainted with Miss Williams can appreciate aud understand tne tragedy of, had said: "You devil. You have stolen my husband from me." At the same time she had struck her sister with a small footstool, causing her to fall to the floor, where, with hardly a struggle, she had ceased to breath." "At first Minnie thought her sister had only fainted and tried to revive her, then she found her efforts useless and remained in the position in which she found her. Then came the question of what to do. Holmes' story of what was done follows: "We clothed Nannie in alight dress which she had liked to wear, and taking a large trunk she had brought with her from Texas, I placed her therein. I went to a livery stable and obtained a covered conveyance. and upon my return I engaged a man to accompany me to the house and help me place tiie trunk in the carriage "X then drove to the lakeside and waited until night had fallen, thus appearing to parties noticing me, if any, that I was awaiting the return of some belated boating party. Then I procured a boat at some distance and took it near my waiting place, and later, with considerable trouble, I placed the trunk in the craft and pooceeded about one mile from the shore. There, in the darkness, passed beyond the sight of this world into the ever-grasping depths of Lake Michigan all that was mortal of this beautilul Christian girl. Coming toward the shore I thought it wise to deposit the trunk upon another v.nd more remote portion of the beach. 1 did this, and, after returning the boat, drove away, and later came back for the trunk. The housekeeping was broken up, and very shortly thereafter Mr. Hatch took Minnie Williams to Milwaukee, where she remained, in a private institution until later in the summer. The cause that produced her unsound mental condition had then been removed. "We kept Nannie's things several weeks until I could obtain time to dispose of them when I assorted some of them and gaye them to Pietzel, telling ing him that they were some that Miss Williams had sent to his children. All the others were burned in tho large stove in the third-story office, and this, I .plainly told the Philadelphia authorities in the full of 1894, and all the subsequent excitement occurred as a direct jnesi^t of a viftit made there by their representatives in verification of my statement. Another trunk containing

picture'mi books was not tataBnjftym the 6XDr|^ company, owing tjft a Mistake tfhsrges, though Miss Williams supposed-this-had also been disposed^of, and this was the one later returned, to Fort Worthf "The last I ever saw of Miss Williams was in Detroit, last fall, and my belief is that she is still alive and well." "Minnie Williams'i condition was brought about, so Holmes says she told him, by a prominent Boston business man, head of a firm dealing in surgical instruments, whose wife she visited at their home in Somerville, Mass. This man had acquired an influence over her which she was unable to resist, betrayed her and she met him frequently at a hotel near his place of business, breaking her engagement to marry an honest clerk.

FOREIGN MARKETS.

Gilt Edge Stocks Have Advanced With the Exception of Alining Stock. LONDON, Aug. 26.—With the con

tinued influx of gold, the rates for money have again slackened and from the same cause gilt edge stocks have advanced, but the exception was the mining market, in which business was exceedingly quiet, although prices were firm. Home railroads were strong and foreign railroads were quiet. There was a good demand for Turks, but Spaniards were weak. CnJ

Paraguayans advanced on news of the resumption of interest payments. American securities were better, especially the bond issues which were in good demand at advanced prices. Shares were neglected, but the anticipated Erie and Reading organization schemes will, when issued, improve matters. Erie's have been sold on a basis of a $12 assessment. Grand Trunks have beeii better on better traffic prospects. Advances have been as follows: Illinois Central, 2 Chicago, Milwaukee aud St. Paul and Lake Shore, 1 1-2. Other movements were fractional.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Seventeen l^uihiings JJui ned at Kingston, New York. KINGSTON, Aug. 2G.—Sunday morning a )ost destructive fire occurred at the village of Rosendale, in this county, by which 17 buildings were burned, and for a time the whole village was threatened with destruction.

Rosendale is situated on the Delaware and Hudson canal, the business portion consisting of a long street bounded on one side by the canal, and on other by the Roudout creek. The fire started in a barn owned by R. & C. I. Lefever, which was filled with hay and grain. It quickly spread to the .houses 011 the street, and then in all dilutions, until about every building alon'^ the canal was destroyed. Fortunately the fire did not cross the street.:'

Among the properties destroyed was the store of R. & C. I. Lefever, a lumber yard and a well stocked coalyard belonging to the same firm. Semmon's large hotel, Odd Fellows' hall, the First Reformed church, Dr. Robinson's office and several smaller buildings were also destroyed. The cause of the fire is not known. The damage is estimated at $75,000.

INDIANAPOI .IS, Aug. 2G.—Matthew McGinnis, a laborer, living at 249 West 21arylaud street, iias just discovered that he is the heir of liis brother, Daniel McGinnis.who died in Toledo, a bachelor, in 1890, leaving an estate valued at #750,000.
